Have you ever wanted to truly understand the OSI model (Open Systems Interconnection) that defines the computer networking framework--the system that characterizes and standardizes the communication functions of our telecommunications industry? Do you understand the various OSI model layers L1- L7 and the products and services that suppliers like AireSpring can deliver over them? If you’ve been selling technology that you didn’t really understand, now is your chance to get the information you’ve been missing.

All applications, security, SD-WAN, voice, CCaaS, UCaaS, IoT, and even AI rely on robust connectivity to function properly. In today's digital landscape, connectivity isn't merely a convenience—it's the cornerstone of operational efficiency and competitive advantage. From the Physical Layer 1, through the Data Link Layer 2, to the Network Layer 3 through the Transport, Session, Presentation, and the Layer 7 Application levels, each layer has its abilities and suitability for certain connectivity and services. From Layer 1 Fiber through Layer 3 DIA and MPLS, Layer 5 SD-WAN and Layer 7 Firewalls, understanding the difference between the various network layers and the services that run on top of those connections is key to servicing your clients with the solutions they need to run their business.
